One of the graeat apostasies---using the Bible to urge even more Middle East conflict.

The anti-Christ so prominent in many Christian beliefs is going to be unrecognizable and hidden in plain sight. I don't believe the anti-Christ is an individual, I believe it to be a movement---one that talks ABOUT Christ, one that is very religious, one that KNOWS it is correct and even believes it is doing God's work (for Him, on earth, by helping to start the Battle of Armageddon).

It's called fundamentalism. Dedicated to the Bible, their every belief, every explanation of biblical inconsistencies, every proclamation about when this will happen and how that will occur are all pre-ordained by God with no possibility of error by any human who fits into the equation.

Those called fundamentalists recognize one another by the way they interpret the Bible.

Christians, on the other hand, recognize one another by our desire to be serving Him daily.

The fundamentalists (of every religion) are winning in bringing world war to a greater possibility.
The problem for them is in the end when Jesus tells all of them they are like the goats on His left hand side.

AND their attempt to FORCE everyone to live by their interpretation of the LAW.

It is amazing that since I was told by the last church I attended I was a HEATHEN and headed straight to the fires of hell, that my spirituality and understanding of God / Jesus has grown EXPONENTIALLY since I left the church and put down the daily reading of the bible and sincerely started following (as best as I can) the teachings of Jesus and not the words in a book.

I don't dream very often but a common dream is coming into the presence of God, entering into the most joy I have ever felt. It makes me what to go soon.

As for America, I don't see much of a future for her. I believe America will dwindle to nothing or become an Islamic state and fight against God. (no prophecy here, just my view)

I had a dream about trucks last night. I just bought a 4x4 F150 and I've done a ton of research on used pickups.

I expect that as the culture grows increasingly hostile toward religion in general, and Christianity...that we will see the number of people that claim Christianity to shrink. We will also see the ones that remain in Christianity to be the ones that take their faith seriously.

Now Vizio we can once again agree on something. Your second paragraph above. It would be better for both the nation and the Christian faith for there to be a great purging of American Christianity.

However, where we may differ is on which group of Christians needs purging!

You should have purchased a Chevy Silverado 2500 (4X4).

The only thing you will observe "shrinking" is Christian Fundamentalism.
In other words, those who feel the need to "Fix Or Repair (others) Daily."

So happy for you. I believe that is what the call to "come out of her" (Babylon) is about. The risen Christ is not welcomed in too many American churches.
